Haha, well thank you! I’m actually amazed that you’re still reading my blogs, must have taken quite some patience! And to answer your ‘how did I find you’ question, it’s rather hilarious, really. I don’t remember whose blog I was looking at, but someone reblogged one of your posts and I really enjoyed reading it, so I went back and found your page and checked it out. I like that most of your blogs are about your life, realized that you were a keeper, and clicked ‘follow’. I just really enjoy reading what you have to say. The end. Guess it wasn’t all that funny.

Btw, I don’t see a reply button anywhere on your blog :O   

Well, I am really flattered. I believe now there may be some type of reply feature, assuming you are on the dashboard. I think this means that only the person who is replied to sees it, opposed to a blog or reblog. And I think that is pretty funny, though I feel I may have been letting you down in the past 2 months or so, because I feel they are much shorter and shallower. And to be honest, the main reason I first followed you was because you followed me, so I figured, hey I’ll check this out. Needless to say, I never regretted the decision.

If the reply button is now there, I made that occur in the preferences and under one of the tabs if anybody cares to know.

Grr...

I completely went over to Winamp from iTunes, but now I found out Winamp doesn’t convert into MP3 unless I buy the pro version!

Psalm 2-plans

 ¹ Why are the nations so angry?
      Why do they waste their time with futile plans?

… (Stuff about not going against the Lord or his rulers)

 ¹⁰ Now then, you kings, act wisely!
      Be warned, you rulers of the earth!
 ¹¹ Serve the Lord with reverent fear,
      and rejoice with trembling.
 ¹² …
      But what joy for all who take refuge in him!

-I am glad I do not have to fear God. But I do have to worry about wasting my time with futile plans. There plans may have been futile because they were going against the Lord, but mine can potentially become futile because I do not know the future, so they may never come to fruition. This is difficult because I love planning. Really really love it. In 7th grade I planned  out my entire high school schedule. During 7th and 8th I also started analyzing the differences between various math majors at Northwestern College and attempted to decide if I could double major and still fit in a Spanish minor. Both my high school and college plans have changed over time, but I made informed decisions.

Well if you read a couple blogs back I referenced my appreciation for song lyrics. I realized Psalms is also full of beautiful imagery and great themes and the like. I “knew” this before, but never really realized it I guess.

Psalms 1 (NLT)

 ¹ Oh, the joys of those who do not
      follow the advice of the wicked,
      or stand around with sinners,
      or join in with mockers.
 ² But they delight in the law of the Lord,
      meditating on it day and night.

-How often do we delight in God’s law. We may appreciate it, understand it, but rarely do I see myself delighting in it. And why shouldn’t I? I don’t know. No good reason not to delight in it.

KTLA filmed me kicking a tree in my backyard

brookandlyn:

And why was I kicking a tree? I don’t know. I was a wild child on the loose, out looking for some adventure. I don’t exactly remember why I was kicking a tree, but I do recall a helicopter passing by as I was being a ‘rebel’. Anyways, I went back in my house, and my mom was in the living room watching tv, and she looked up at me and asked, “Were you just outside kicking a tree?” Rofl. I was on tv for like 10 seconds. Feels good man. 

That is probably one of the most amazing things I have ever heard. You should definitely try to get a copy of that footage.

Though acting out the final scene in Hamlet was really fun

Thus I don't like Hamlet.

I don’t like tragedies. Hamlet is a tragedy.
